A Storybook Setting in the Heart of Manteo Tucked behind a classic white picket fence on just over half an acre, this 1930s craftsman bungalow is pure magic. Surrounded by vibrant hydrangeas, shady trees, and a yard that feels like a hidden garden, it’s the kind of place that instantly feels like home. A wide front porch welcomes you in—and just beyond it, the Town of Manteo’s walking and biking path rolls past your front gate, connecting you to all the best parts of Roanoke Island. Whether you’re cruising to the Manteo waterfront for a summer concert at Festival Park, checking out the shops and restaurants downtown, catching a show at The Lost Colony, or spending the day at the aquarium or Elizabethan Gardens, you’re minutes from everything but still tucked away in your own private oasis. Inside the home, you’ll find original hardwood floors, beadboard accents, and a mix of old-school charm and updates. The ground-level ensuite is ready for a refresh but has great bones, while the upstairs features three more bedrooms and a full bath—all wrapped in original woodwork and character. The kitchen has a cheerful vibe, with tile floors, a vaulted breakfast nook, and garden views to brighten your mornings. A cozy reading area, big laundry space, and thoughtful layout round out the interior. Outside, the yard is where this home really shines—pecan, fig, persimmon, pear, and chestnut trees, plus grapevines, a koi pond waiting to be brought back to life, and a storybook-style cedar shake studio ready for your next creative project. There’s even a potting shed with an outdoor shower and a detached garage for your workshop, boat, or hobbies. Recent updates include a brand-new 2024 Trane heat pump and air handler for the upstairs. Whether you’re looking for a quiet year-round home or a magical weekend getaway, this one’s a rare gem in a location that’s hard to beat. Come experience the charm of old Manteo—this is the kind of place that stays with you.
